Southwest Decatur is home to the beautiful Jack Allen Recreation Complex. As you top the hill on the main entrance off Modaus Road SW, you will see 10 international size soccer fields situated on 77 acres of manicured turf. Jack Allen Recreation Complex quickly became recognized as one of the best soccer facilities in the Southeast. The complex has hosted numerous soccer events including adult and youth international games, Alabama State Cup Championships, Presidents Cup and the NAIA Women's Soccer Championships. The Open Cup has also hosted tournaments with teams from 8 different countries. A number of colleges have played games at JARC for exhibition and for season league games. Perhaps the most memorable would be the April 9, 2006, NCAA Duke Women's team defeating the Mexico National Women's team 1-0 in front of a capacity crowd.
